Spoiler, it's 60% Owl house episodes

Btw, the existence of Glee is a hatecrime enough without you reminding me of it

    I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought Glee was fucking awful in its portrayal of gay people. I felt like I was going crazy because so many people around me at the time were hailing it as a triumph of gay representation.

      CW: micro agressions from self described gay allies

      spoiler

      Imagine being in high school while Glee was on the air and all the kids processing the fact that not all gay men are Kurt Hummel with wonderful highlights like

      "You not really gay"

      "Do you tell people that so girls can get close to you

      "I didn't know Mexicans could be gay"

      And the perennial favorite: "You don't act gay"

      Like I pour my heart out to y'all and y'all interrogate me on my sexuality

        I'm not gay but I was the only Asian kid in a school of white people and got asked why I don't do Kung Fu and speak with an accent all the time.

        I think I can sympathize with your experience.
